Facilities
Robert Wiseman Dairies
The headquarters of Robert Wiseman Dairies - now renamed Müller Wiseman Dairies - has been based in the village since 1959, housed in a former farmhouse and piggery, the original farm and dairy premises founded in 1947 at Murray Farm having been redeveloped by the East Kilbride Development Corporation.[2]
Nerston Residential School
Nerston Residential School was established in 1940 by Glasgow Corporation as the Nerston Residential Child Guidance Clinic, using houses previously purchased by the Glasgow United Evangelist Association in 1898 for use of the Glasgow Fresh Air Fortnight Committee holiday camps for Glasgow children. The school eventually closed in 2010 as a result of a cost-cutting excerise, the remaining primary children being merged with pupils at Greenwood School and relocated to the former Hampden School premises in Glasgow.[3] The abandoned school buildings were completely demolished in March 2014.[4]
East Kilbride Golf Club
The East Kilbride Golf Club, founded in 1900, was relocated to Nerston in the late 1960s due to the on-going expansion of the new town, having been originally located at the Show Park and later at Blacklaw.[5]
